Loud storm. Kept me up. Tired this morning. Odd to see thunder storms in November.

Light snow and a dusting with 27 at the house. GSP says the potent vort max will bring heavier snow this afternoon and evening than previously expected.

Jackpot. Congrats. Snowing hard here right now with this last gasp.

100%. Especially as you are outside of the typical zone to cash in on lake snow. This was pretty much the perfect scenario and outcome for your area. Absolutely incredible.

I win?

Totally different set up, but the results kinda reminds me of this one, Feb 24, 2016. RC has fond memories. https://www.weather.gov/lot/2016feb24_snow

Momence IL .

Yeah. Lowell in Lake County (IN) has reported 10” and the best returns seemed to have been slotted west of them towards the Momence area. Wild event nonetheless. Even with the localized totals, quite a spread the wealth scenario across the southern Lake Michigan region. Now up to 5” overnight with event total at 7.1”. Seem to be about finished at this point. We’ll see what else the lake will provide as the primary moves back east over the next few hours.

Temp down to 23 and snow still coming down. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Yeah we got smoked lol

Ouch.

Measured 3.5" at 4:00 am. Still snowing, but fairly light. Just to put the put the Momence total in context, they're 13 miles to the east of IKK. Will be some varying storm totals from west to east in the county, to say the least.

In other news, the -IOD definitely peaked last week as expected by BOM (almost -2) and is starting to bump up again….ended up being strongest negative event since the fall of 1996. And it seems we have westward moving ER waves from the La Niña interfering with the MJO’s eastward propagation

54F and balmy this am, that will not be the case tomorrow at this time. A week of colder temps then back to seasonal like temps next week.

What have you grabbed so far?

Wow, awesome. This one just missed MBY. I mean I'll take what I got, but a foot...

Hot damn. Report of 12” from Momence in Kankakee County. Not surprising giving radar presentation. Still going. At this point basically sealed as an all time lake event for them.

We’ll see what the official totals are but it’s not done yet

Ut oh! Permanent, non-stop massive Greenland blocking from December 1st until March 31st!! 1995-96, 2010-11 redux! Lol

Light to moderate snow at the moment and a light dusting already. Really wasn’t expecting much more than flurries before this evening so this is a early win in the event for me on this part.

Temp of 24 with moderate snow and a dusting on everything.

Kind of meh AWT. Saw a 12” report near IL/IN border well south but nothing impressive by the city.

Dab+ lol

Pessimism got the best of me. Ended up adding another 3.5” tonight. With last night’s 1.8” and an additional 0.3” in the morning, event total is up to 5.6”. Depth ~ 4.9” with the melt earlier today. Bottom inch or so is quite iced. Tonight reminded me more of deep winter rather than early to mid November. Between the meso swinging south and the dominate band shifting back east through Monday, it’s feasible to pick up another inch. Locally “historic”. Will surpass the 2004 Thanksgiving storm totals at least. Perhaps most interesting tonight is that we had steady to heavy snow even without much or any radar presentation. Nothing too crazy but ~ 1” per hour based on measurement. Can’t imagine what it was like under the heavy returns.
